The Day After filming.... a new approach to "set-stalking"

I know lot's of people don't have sets in their own backyard but shooting a scene takes tons of time, money, people and equipment...

I am so impressed so far with how "on the ball" David Slade is.

I remember when I met him outside Blue Water Cafe for the Cast Party at the end of New Moon. He stopped to chat with me and to clear the air about the things he had previously said about Twilight Saga.... he was cordial and really quite sweet... and short... but anyways.... so far this director has been in and out of multiple sets using perfect locations and just hammering it out quick and easy...

So yes, when I saw nothing at under the bridge today I was not shocked... David Slade and his crew are good - really good!

Mandy's Rant:

I have begun to take a different outlook on this whole "Set-stalking" I realize fans who read my blog don't neccessarily care if I MEET Robert Pattinson again (in fact, I think they'd hate me if I lucked out ANOTHER time and met him... seriously LMAO) and I have met almost all the cast so cast encounters are not really my motivation to go to sets....

People who read my blog DO CARE about the books and the movies... they want to hear about the sets, scenes, whats happening... and so - going today to a wrapped and cleared set.... was INTERESTING TO ME!!!

I really enjoy blogging about whats happening ... and what's happened.... if i stumble upon cast - great - but I am not feeling up to the over night camping out at set to catch a glimpse of "Edward" .... been there, done that, not interested... and i never have and never will be into wasting a whole day outside a hotel.... so I will stick to sets, wrapped, or live... (as long as I am not interfering....which I am careful always not to do!!!) and not worry about meeting cast... of course... if it happens - AWESOME....

END RANT

So yes - today i went to a bridge.....

WHY?

Because - it's super cool! It's a plain old bridge and dirt... but last night it was a movie set for Eclipse and had "Victoria" and "Riley" making out and lights and cameras and action !!!

I'm totally with you on this. I want to see filming! I don't want to "stalk" in the truest sense of the word and wait outside hotels, bars, restaurants, etc. I just want to see some of my favourite books brought to life and smile knowing I was there. :)

Thank You Mandy. You are keeping it real. We are living vicariously through you. Me and a few of my girlfriends were the first people to find many of the sets when they filmed Twilight here in Portland. I believe only a small handful of us still this day know where the baseball field and Cullen house are.It does get to a point where it's exhausting and can take up a big chunk of your life. But I love your reports keep them up.And I love that you don't disrupt, but watch and enjoy. That was always our philosophy and it really bugged us when people got too aggressive and messed it up for the rest of us.Thank you.
